Poetic Terrorism
Seasons are changing
So we’re not changing
Certainly limited in mortality
Crazy trade-off.
I’m not going to write you
a traditional poem
a structured prose
you don’t know what to call it
and that’s the point.
This is poetic terrorism
Juxtaposition
Playing school and playing house
Getting at prose and circling truth
This is that which is not clubbed out
from the speaker
This is that which fights.
Desperately trying to finish before the page is
broken before the cliff
ending cusp outside It doesn’t
Life’s little difficulties
creating new words from broken keys
opening different locks.
Muddled, structured, cutting
We’re all together in an empty cage
melded bars
Welcome outside your box
We are what we were
Step outside the branches and networks
What was I saying?
It’s just time without the apostrophe
Burning without breaking
Looks like jaw of mouth this
is poetic terrorism.
Part One.
